Flatbush Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I saw a picture of one of these in a magazine somewhere and thought I'd try making one. (or two) The photo gives the illusion the one on the right is leaning, but it's not. They're very stable. I left enough conduit sticking out the top to use as a "handle" to move it around. (I 'spose I should have removed the ashtray from the loading bench for the photo! lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Very Nice What is the base made out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 The base is a "pancake" electrical box. I put a rubber edge protector on it so it doesn't scratch up the loading bench. The post is 18" of 1/2" thinwall conduit with 3/4" pvc conduit for the spacers. I blued the base and the thinwall conduit, and used brake cleaner to remove the printed labeling from the pvc.

Mustang Gregg Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I have been using the T Mags since the early 80s. I have kind of a "semi automatic" system in which I can reload up to 350 per hour. I still hand feel seating every primer and do a visual on every charge. I love the T Mags. I have several of them. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailboss (Santa) Dave Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Several years ago, I was in a battle with the Gov't people about disability (it took 4 1/2 years) I had to sell my Dillon 650, and several guns to help make ends meet. I was left with a Redding Turret, It's slower than the 650, but works just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG I started out with the Spar-T, Used it for over 30 years. Down side is you can't swap out turrets. Found a Gen 1 T-Mag for a good price. so I sold the Spar-T. What I like about it is I can resize and bell the case mouth quickly by putting the dies in adjacent holes. Inspect and hand prime off the press. Then powder, seat, and crimp by putting the seating die and crimp die in another adjacent set of holes. Makes short work of loading rounds for my Cody/Dixon rifles.
